I, Frankenstein is in development at Lionsgate through Lakeshore Entertainment and Hopscotch Features. Production is scheduled to start in January in Australia, with an early 2013 release already slated. This has been in the works for a little while, and it's great that Aaron Eckhart is starring, as he'll do a good job. The cast is coming together, with Nighy and Otto being the latest official additions. Eckhart plays a Frankenstein monster, who is being hunted by demons that want to learn the secret of his creation in order to build an army of reanimated corpse demons. Nighy was last in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Pirate Radio, and has been lending his voice quite a bit; he also played Viktor from the Underworld movies.
